Texas Tornado - The Sunderlands vs The Gastins (Complete)

Texas Tornado Tag ~ No DQ, No Count-Out
Victory by Pinfall, Submission, or KO

What an experience this has been for the past few days for the Sunderlands. Neither of them would have expected to get this involved with another brother and sister group here, let alone one like The Gastins. Starting with just a normal singles match between Dante and Bonnie, things escalated with the other halfs of the two sibling groups, Heather and Clyde, getting involved in their own situation, and now they are about to fight it out to see which is the superior group.

Heather and Dante walk the halls backstage, heading towards the arena only minutes before the match is about to begin. Dante walks with a confused but excited look on his face. The way Heather dropped the news on him was very sudden. After her 'confrontation' with Clyde and Bonnie, she quickly met up with Dante in one of the rooms backstage. All she told him was that he would be able to get a chance to fight Bonnie again, but this time she would be involved as well. Not telling him any of the details of why Heather and Clyde were joining them in this tag match, she only told him the basics to avoid any complications or anything.

"Well, I guess it's fine. I was looking forward to fighting her in the ring sooner or later. I'm glad it's happening so soon!" Dante says with a big smile on his face as they walk through the hallways. "She was definitely a great wrestler. We had an awesome match! It was like--" "Yeah, I know I saw it." Heather cuts him off as he goes on about the match. "I also saw the little after match celebration you had. I just want to let you know this is an opportunity for us to pick up a win as a team, be known as a great brother and sister team, especially in the new Tension thing that it changed to." She says with a determined look.

"Don't let whatever you two have get in the way tonight." Heather says, a bit of a worry in the back of her head that what she's saying will just end up being hypocritical. She can't deny that the whole thing with Clyde is on her mind. She knows her emotions might take control of her out there and she's trying to brace herself so that they don't, however this is easier said than done. She was hesitant to have this match for this exact reason but there's nothing she can do about it now. If it was just simple enough that she only hated him, everything would be fine, but there was just some odd conflicting feeling within her, one that came along after the whole incident and when the two were just talking.

Shaking her head, she tries to get rid of these thoughts as Dante looks over at her with a worried expression. He can see that there's something going wrong with Heather, but he feels as if he shouldn't pry into it. He pats her on the shoulder before turning her and giving her a hug. "I'm glad I can finally team with you again. We're going to do great out there, I know it." He says before releasing the hug. Heather blinks a few times before a warm smile appears over her face. "Yeah, you're right. They should just chalk up the win on our records right now!" Heather says before taking off towards the curtain area as Dante shakes his head. "That's not what I meant!" Dante says as he follows her, but he knows it's no use as he laughs to himself a bit.

As they reach the gorilla position, the crew tells them it's only a minute before their cue. "I hope you don't mind, we're using my music and lights." Heather says with a thumbs up as Dante sighs and nods his head. As said by Heather, "Another Me" from Jeff Hardy blasts over the speakers. The lights turn to a dark blue as green laser lights shoot out from the entrance and the top sides of the ceiling, making crazy shapes into the crowd. Heather and Dante step onto the stage area as they are met with a mixed reaction, but mostly cheers. Making their way down to the ring, Dante high fives a few people in the crowd while Heather walks down the middle of the ramp, a grin on her face as she puts her hands on her hips.

The two are wearing their usual attire, Heather with a see-thru tanktop and black bra underneath, short jean shorts, and brown boots going half way up her shin. Dante wearing a black wife beater along with his regular jeans and sneakers. Dante walks up the stairs and jumps over the top rope as Heather does the same but instead climbing through the middle. Dante climbs up to the top and raises his hands up out at the cheering crowd as Heather just leans her back on the ropes opposite to the entrance. Dante jumps down and walks over to Heather, standing beside her as the two watch the ramp, waiting for the entrance of The Gastins.

"So did ya' remember to return The Phantom Menace, last night?" A certain blonde named Bonnie Gastin would ask her twin brother as she began tieing her shoe laces.

"Ah...Shit... That's a dollar late fee..." Mutterd the other twin, The ever notorious Clyde Gastin, who stood backstage with his sister before both twins made their way toward the backstage entrance area. Bonnie & Clyde had been in the AFW for a decent amount of time. Although Clyde had been here for several months and Bonnie for a couple of weeks, they were both well known by the crowd as well as the other wrestlers. Bonnie however, had a good reputation, she was known to be tough, determined, charasmatic and easy to get along with. If the twins had any real diehard fans, it was most likely because of Bonnie. Clyde on the other hand had the worst reputation in the league, maybe even the entire company. Zero Kotobuki, a wrestler for the AFW who was another female acquaintance to Clyde, as well as his supposed mentor; once compared the texan to some of the other men she had met in Sex Wars, and declared Clyde Gastin 'the scummiest of the bunch' and many other wrestlers and fans would agree. While most people would frown at such a title, Clyde could only laugh at it and smile at the reputation he had created for himself, uncaring of what the world thought of him. But in the case of Heather Sunderland, following their previous encounter, Clyde actually regretted earning himself such a repuation. Along with getting attached to his opponent, whom he harbored very mixed and confusing feelings for.

"I hope you ain't gonna spend your time flirtin' instead of fightin', Bon." Clyde would remark to his sister with a slight frown at the corner of his mouth. "Boy Please! I can do both just fine!" Bonnie would reply with a gleeful smirk and a small laugh as she began thinking about how this new match with Dante would end up. In truth, Bonnie did intend to do both, she liked Dante for multiple reasons. She liked the fact that he easy to mess with, finding him to be rather cute when she got him to start blushing. In addition to this, she found him to be a rather strong opponent, which was what Bonnie seemed to like about him the most. He had that whole innocent boy vibe to him, but was far from a little weak pushover. The guy could take a punch and keep on rolling, which was something Bonnie couldnt help but applaud him for.

"...Just make sure you keep your eyes on winnin' instead of Ol' Whats-her-face." Bonnie would tease back at Clyde, referring to Dante's sister. "You mean Heather..?" Clyde would reply back to his sister before he spotted a sly smirk on Bonnie's face. She now knew that Clyde was still keeping Heather on his mind. "S-Shut up..." Clyde would mutter, getting red in the face rather quickly. "I ain't gonna step in. I'll let you handle whatever business you got with the girl..." Bonnie would say to her brother in a rather serious tone. "Their ain't nothin' to handle... You just worry about yo' self... " Clyde would mutter before stepping up toward the entrance ramp, Bonnie would soon follow after that. "Did you buy the pyro?" Clyde turned to ask his sister. "Hell Yeah..." She mutterd with a sly grin, which Clyde soon returned. The duo was now about to make their big tag-team debut, complete with fireworks, which the Sunderlands didn't have by the sounds of things backstage.

"Shout At The Devil" by Motley Crue began to play throughout the arena, The lights began to dim down and the crowd began to erupt into a mixed frenzy of booes and cheers as the Gastin's slowly strutted their way onto the entrance stage, stomping their feet in harmony with the drums being played in their entrance song before a several shots of pyro shot up from the stage floor. The music then began to play at a much wilder and faster pace as the crowd began a deafning roar throughout the arena with both the Gastin Twins proceeding to headbang their blonde haired heads up and down in unison with the beat of loud rocking metal music that echoed in the arena before they began making their way toward down the entrance ramp and toward the ring. Both siblings wore an almost identical attire as they revealed themselves to the crowd. Bonnie wore a pair of torn blue jeans, a white tank top, white hightop basketball sneakers, blue sweat bands on her wrists and her blue headband tied around her forehead. Clyde was also wearing a pair of blue jeans, in addition to a regular white T-shirt and brown cowboy boots.

As they neared, the twins eventually ran to the ring and slid inside before jumping up on their feet, sharing a confident smirk for a moment as they looked at their opponent. "Sup?" Bonnie would say out of the blue to her opponents, feeling the need to make a brief 'Hello' with their opponents, winking a Dante with a smile rather quickly as she did so. Clyde's smirk however would fade as he looked to Heather, already feeling the awkwardness in the situation. He had alot of things on his mind the past couple of days, and Heather was one of them. Without saying anything to her though, he lifted up his head and nodded up at her to make a silent 'sup' expression of his own before giving her a casual fake smile.

Heather and Dante watch as the Gastins' music plays. Heather watches with a huge smile on her face as their pyro goes off. She's one for doing things in a flashy way, just to show herself off and watching the pyro that the Gastins had set up was something else. She thought to herself that she had to get something like that as their two opponents step onto the stage area. Dante seems to be getting himself pumped up as he looks on, stretching a bit with a smile on his face different from Heather's.

Looking down at Bonnie and Clyde, Dante saw what could turn out to be a great match. He figured if Clyde was anything like his sister, moveset wise, it would be an extremely competitive match, one that the crowd will definitely enjoy. Heather on the other hand didn't seem to care about if the crowd is going to enjoy it or not. All she saw was an opportunity to get a win over another Brother-Sister team, while maybe settling the things that are running through her still. Getting rid of the crazed feelings she had was a big thing for her in this match. Feeling as if this will be the final confrontation, she takes a deep breath and steps off from leaning on the ropes.

As the Gastins slipped into the ring, the Sunderlands met their looks from the other end of the ring. They watch as Bonnie greets them with a 'Sup'. Dante sees the wink that Bonnie throws his way and blushes a bit before looking back at her with a smile on his face. "Hey, let's make this match a great one, just like before!" He says with a happy expression before holding out his hand to her for a handshake.

Heather looks on at Dante's attitude and crosses her arms while shaking her head, that is until she looks over to Clyde who silently nods at her. Thinking of something to do or say, she simply returns the nod back at him, trying to keep a serious face as she keeps her arms crossed. "Damn, can't think of the other day. Have to get that out of my mind for the match, but how the hell am I going to do that?" She thinks to herself as she keeps her eyes on Clyde, trying to act as if the awkward feeling isn't there, but one could clearly tell from the look on her face.

Bonnie couldnt help but smirk at the all too visible blush that Dante had across his face, getting the exact reaction that she expected and wanted to see from her would-be rival. She would proceed to return his smile with one of her own briefly. It seemed like things for this match were running just like their previous one. Clyde seemed indifferent to Dante though, he didnt know why Bonnie took an intrest in him, he didnt look like anything special or that hadnt already been seen before.

However, as Dante extended his hand out for a handshake, Bonnie's smirk would turn into grin as she looked at Dante's hand before looking back at him as she stepped up and moved his hand away before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in for an affectionate hug, grinning the entire time as she did so. "Same to you, Dee. Same to you..." Mutterd Bonnie within the hug to her opponent.

During this time, Clyde was exchanging rather awkward looking glances with Heather but would stop upon seeing Bonnie hug Dante as a rather stern frown formed upon Clyde's face "Oh... Here she goes..." He thought to himself as her shook his head at his sister "Hey Hey Hey! We supposed to be 'rasslin! Not Huggin'!" Clyde would exclaim as he shook his fist at the two before Bonnie let go of Dante and backed away from him with a small laugh. "Now you always gotta be gettin' pissed Clyde? Were you just upset cause you didn't get no hug from Heather?" Bonnie would tease before Clyde snapped back at her suddenly. "Will you shut-up!? I could care less 'bout that! She don't mean nothing to me!" The texan would yell back at his sister while pointing at Heather. As he said this, Bonnie looked at Clyde with a rather concearned look on her face, prompting Clyde to think for a moment and realize what he said. "...Oh Shit! Hey no Wait--" Clyde was then cut off by the appearance of the Ref-Girl, who called for the teams to stand in the center.

"Ok Listen up... Standard Tornado Tag Match. Only changes are NO DQ's and NO Count-out's. Win by Pinfall, Submission or Knockout on just one member of a team will get you the win. Okay! Good Luck! Ring The Bell!" The ref girl would exclaim as she began the match, ever suddenly.

As Dante held out his hand, he held in it high hopes for the match that was about to take place. He knew it was going to be one hell of a match and he was certainly looking forward to the beginning. Happy at Bonnie returning his smile, he waited for the handshake but wasn't expecting at all what was to come instead.

As Bonnie wrapped her arms around him in the affectionate hug, Dante's blush grew deeper. After a second or two, he returned the hug. "Of course! I'll be sure not to disappoint." He says before they release the hug.

Heather turns her look over to Bonnie and Dante just as the hug is ending and lets out a sigh. She goes to say something about it but is beaten to the punch by Clyde. She looks over to him and nods her head, agreeing with what he's saying as Dante looks over at him with a confused look on his face. He didn't know exactly why Clyde was getting mad, but looking over at Heather he assumed he had the same feelings Heather did about a match, even though that wasn't the actual reasoning for it.

Heather seemed to be on Clyde's side as the two siblings argued for just a bit until the last thing Clyde said. "...I could care less 'bout that! She don't mean nothing to me!" As Heather hears this, she feels she should be glad he thinks as much, but instead she gives off a bit of a shocked expression, instantly turning to a bit of anger. She felt a bit hurt from those words and she had no idea why. She should feel the exact way that he just said, but instead she feels in an odd way that she can't describe to herself, angering her even more.

As the Ref girl described the rules, all the while Heather kept a glare on Clyde. The thing she was trying most to avoid was happening already before the bell has even rung, her emotions have started to get the best of her. As she hears the bell ring, she immediately charges at Clyde, trying to ram him into the corner with a spear-like maneuver. Dante watches as she takes off, with a bit of a troubled look on his face. Not knowing much of the circumstances between the two, he looks on worried about Heather's state of mind. Trying to shake it off, he looks back at Bonnie before putting his hands up for a lock-up. "Let's start this right" He says, smiling all the while.

Upon hearing Dante's words as Bonnie let him go, she once again smirked before she stuck out her fist towards him. "You better not dissapoint! Or I'ma go H-Town on yo' ass!" Bonnie would declare with a gleeful grin toward her opponent, referring to Houston, Texas. Which was basically where she was from.

While hearing the rules being explained to the group, Clyde looks over to Heather and sees that glare on her face being directed at him. Clyde knew he messed up once he realized what he had said. If he was working hard on getting Heather to like him he really screwed it up just then.

"I Umm... I kinda fucked up, huh?" Clyde would whisper to his sister, asking for her input on his new delimma. "Yup." She would reply bluntly, knowing that Clyde was most likely going to be rammed straight to hell by Heather. Figuratively speaking that is.

Much to Bonnie's expectations however that was exactly what Heather did upon hearing the bell. "Heather Wai--!" Clyde would try to reason with Heather but was cutoff as her shoulder slammed into the texan's lower abdomen and sent him into a corner, stunned as he lay slumped up against the corner with his arms hanging on the ropes. Rocked from the hit he took.

Bonnie simply looked on and shook her head as if to say. "Tough Luck, Buddy." she then turned her attention back to Dante before giving him a wide grin, eager to get in a lock up and start their match. "Hope you're ready, Dee." Bonnie would say, smiling as well she began her lock up with Dante in the center of the ring.

As Heather rams Clyde into the corner, she quickly stands straight and pushes her forearm against his neck. Staring at him with a deep glare, she looks straight in his eyes. "I mean nothing to you huh?? I should have figured as much." She says in an angry tone. "Now you're gonna get yours. A well overdue beating since I'm not tired out anymore." She says.

Grabbing the ropes on both sides of Clyde, she uses them to jump onto the second rope, each foot on an opposite side of Clyde who is up against the corner. Jumping off that, she leaps into the air and tries to wrap her legs around Clyde's head. If she can do this, she'll flip backwards, attempting to perform a hurricanrana to him.

Meanwhile, Dante and Bonnie begin their lockup. "I've been ready, I just hope you are as well." He says in response, his big smile still present on his face. Trying to get leverage in the lockup, he'll press onto Bonnie, looking to get some sort of advantage. Just as their previous encounter, Dante knows that pure strength isn't really what he has going for him in the ring. Still he tries to keep through with the lockup as well as he can.

"Just like before..I'm glad to be able to do this again so soon." He says while in the lockup. "I'll try to mix it up from last time, see what else I can do for the match. I hope you feel the same way. Have to keep things exciting right?"

"Ack! I-I didn't think it would bother you so much! But that's not--"Clyde would speak through Heather's forearm as it was pressed against his neck, looking into Heather's glare he remained trapped in the corner, speaking his mind and trying to explain a few things but was unable to since Heather head leaped up and caught Clyde's head with her legs, laying trapped between her thighs before he was swiftly taken down to the mat with a hurricanrana, dizzed by the flip he had to endure. "They'll be no reasonin' with her..." Thought Clyde to himself upon being taken down to the mat, knowing that simply talking things out with Heather wasn't going to fix things. He'd have to fight back or get pummeled.

At the same time, Bonnie was grappling with Dante in a tight lock-up in the center of the ring, exchanging an actual conversation of their own as Bonnie managed to at least counter Dante's technical skill with her brute strength. "Oh, You ain't got to worry about me boy. I been ready too!" Bonnie would exclaim as she tried pushing Dante back by digging her feet into Mat and stepping foreward.

"Heh... The feeling is mutal, Dee." Bonnie would remark with a light laugh before attempting to get one arm out of the lockup while dropping down on her back, but at the same time using her other hand to try and toss Dante foreward, attempting a rather messy arm drag. "Like I said, hun. Don't worry about me I'll mix things up real nice! Keepin' The Match Fresh all day, baby!" Bonnie would exclaim gleefully.

As Heather lands the hurricanrana, she quickly gets to her feet before looking over her shoulder at Clyde. "Trust me...I didn't think something like that would bother me so much either." She thinks to herself. She can't get over why his comment made her feel the way it did. An urge to rip him apart boiled up in her as she heard him say it and it has yet to subside in her.

Wasting no time, Heather takes one quick look at him again before running towards the nearest set of ropes. Leaping up, she grabs onto the top, her feet on the middle rope, as she bounces and leaps off it towards Clyde. Spinning in the air, she attempts to land a spinning leg drop type maneuver on him. Trying to aim her legs for his upper chest and upper abdomen.

Dante nods his head as he is in the lockup with Bonnie. "Good, then it should turn out just as great as I was suspecting." He says, the excitement rising in him as they continue their battle for the advantage. Dante seems to be faltering a bit as Bonnie digs her feet into the mat, pushing forward. Being pushed back, he tries to think of some way to counter, but finds that Bonnie had a plan of her own.

As she drops, Dante is taken down by the arm drag, landing on his back as he is tossed forward. He groans a little bit as his back hits the mat, but as he lands he attempts to roll out of it to minimize the impact. If he can do this without any interruptions, he will then attempt to run at Bonnie and try to perform a stepladder enziguri. "I hear you loud and clear on that one." He'd say as he ran.

Clyde was still a bit dizzied by Heather's hurricarana to do much, he layed on the canvas while clutching his forehead trying to regain his blurried vision and throbbing head after the sudden flip he took. But by the time he recovered from that, Heather already came crashing down on Clyde with a massive leg drop, knocking a bit of wind out of the blonde as his legs flew up in the air upon impact. "Shit! Shoulda saw that comin..." Clyde thought to himself since he had endured the move before, only this time it had a bigger impact.

After taking Dante down with an arm drag, Bonnie started getting herself back up and waitied for him to try something, which would end up being an enziguri. Bonnie was able to get her forearm up though and block the hit, but her fist would end up hitting the side of her own head after taking the hit. She wasn't really all that hurt, she had just been slightly stung.

Knowing Dante would be on the mat after the enziguri, Bonnie tried to follow up with an elbow drop that she intended to put down upon Dante's body.
